Benchmarks against other popular JavaScript cryptography +libraries can be found here: + +http://dominictarr.github.io/crypto-bench/ + +http://cryptojs.altervista.org/test/simulate-threading-speed_test.html + +## Getting Started +------------------ + +### Node.js ### + +If you want to use forge with [node.js][], it is available through `npm`: + +https://npmjs.org/package/node-forge + +Installation: + + npm install node-forge + +You can then use forge as a regular module: + + var forge = require('node-forge'); + +### Requirements ### + +* General + * Optional: GNU autotools for the build infrastructure if using Flash. +* Building a Browser Bundle: + * nodejs + * npm +* Testing + * nodejs + * Optional: Python and OpenSSL development environment to build + * a special SSL module with session cache support for testing with flash. + * http://www.python.org/dev/ + * http://www.openssl.org/ + * Debian users should install python-dev and libssl-dev. +* Optional: Flash + * A pre-built SocketPool.swf is included. + * Adobe Flex 3 SDK to build the Flash socket code. + * http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/ + +### Building a browser bundle ### + +To create a minimized JavaScript bundle, run the following: + +``` +npm install +npm run minify +``` + +This will create a single minimized file that can be included in +the browser: + +``` +js/forge.min.js +``` + +Include the file via: + +```html +<script src="js/forge.min.js"></script> +``` + +Note that the minify script depends on the requirejs package, +and that the requirejs binary 'r.js' assumes that the name of +the node binary is 'node' not 'nodejs', as it is on some +systems. You may need to change the hashbang line to use +'nodejs' or run the command manually. + +To create a single non-minimized file that can be included in +the browser: + +``` +npm install +npm run bundle +``` + +This will create: + +``` +js/forge.bundle.js +``` + +Include the file via: + +```html +<script src="js/forge.bundle.js"></script> +``` + +The above bundles will synchronously create a global 'forge' object. + +Keep in mind that these bundles will not include any WebWorker +scripts (eg: prime.worker.js) or their dependencies, so these will +need to be accessible from the browser if any WebWorkers are used. + +### Testing with NodeJS & RequireJS ### + +A test server for [node.js][] can be found at `./nodejs`. The following are included: + + * Example of how to use `forge` within NodeJS in the form of a [mocha](http://mochajs.org/) test. + * Example of how to serve `forge` to the browser using [RequireJS](http://requirejs.org/). + +To run: + + cd nodejs + npm install + npm test + npm start + + +### Old build system that includes flash support ### + +To build the whole project, including Flash, run the following: + + $ ./build-setup + $ make + +This will create the SWF, symlink all the JavaScript files, and build a Python +SSL module for testing. To see configure options, run `./configure --help`. + +### Old test system including flash support ### + +A test server is provided which can be run in TLS mode and non-TLS mode. Use +the --help option to get help for configuring ports. The server will print out +the local URL you can vist to run tests. + +Some of the simplier tests should be run with just the non-TLS server:: + + $ ./tests/server.py + +More advanced tests need TLS enabled:: + + $ ./tests/server.py --tls + +## Contributing +--------------- + +Any contributions (eg: PRs) that are accepted will be brought under the same +license used by the rest of the Forge project.

It +is not recommended that you set this flag as native code is typically more +performant and may have stronger security properties. It may be useful to +set this flag to test certain features that you plan to run in environments +that are different from your testing environment. + +To disable native code when including forge in the browser: + +```js +forge = {disableNativeCode: true}; +// now include forge script file(s) +// Note: with this approach, script files *must* +// be included after initializing the global forge var + +// alternatively, include script files first and then call +forge = forge({disableNativeCode: true}); + +// Note: forge will be permanently reconfigured now; +// to avoid this but use the same "forge" var name, +// you can wrap your code in a function to shadow the +// global var, eg: +(function(forge) { + // ... +})(forge({disableNativeCode: true}));
